=) if a nitro gets too hot that just means you richen it up until it runs where its suppose to it may not have the performance it could have, but it will do 45mph and take 8 ft drop offs like a champ!

hey, if rock crawling is no bueno... then maybe i'll be the first pre runner RC cherokee =)

question... whats the run time on ur crawlers? i remember my nitro being quick like 10 minutes tops and thats no fun =/

 

[SeansXJ]

with the stock battery and charger... a good 25 minutes of crawlin..kinda depends on what your crawlin though. And my Tmaxx is not the fastest!! its a classic Tmaxx with a 1.5 OS motor, its quik enough for me. i actually have it setup for drifting lol...no front drive shaft quiker gear ratio and ashpalt are fun!!

 

[SeansXJ]

the scalers are badarse!! there just so expensive!!

 

[MaxxXJ]

what brushless system should i get for my duratrax vendetta ST? its 1/18th scale. and i just want a plug and play sorta deal i dont want to have to beef up my entire truggy just to get it to stay together. but i still want it faster than stock and last longer on the run time. ( mine lasts about 15 minutes maybe.) im also looking into going LIPO as well

 

[SeansXJ]

honestly im a nitro guy, this is my first real electric rc.. im sure there are a bunch of forums..im a local on RCCrawler.com.. if you get into crawlin check it out, really cool site!! lots of cool info and trucks!!

Here's my XJ....

 

[MaxxXJ]

these rc cherokees arent complete w/o an sticker =)

 

[SeansXJ]

i never got my stickers when i went red...pretty ghey!

 

[MaxxXJ]

yup seriously! id protest and demand a t shirt too =). so about rc cars... idk what brushless lipo setup to go with on my vendetta... i dont understand the differences between the 4000-5000-etc i just want a compromise between speed and torque and reliability...

 

[SeansXJ]

well i went with a 5000mah brick pack to fit in the stock location, got it from cheapbatterypacks.com they even have a facebook you can ask them questions and they respond real fast. check em out! i stayed away from the Lipo cause i like the weight of the Nimh and i did'nt wanna have to mess with a cutoff. paid 50 bucks shipped and i get about an hour and fifteen of run time.not bad, plus i have the stock pack thats another good 20 minutes of solid crawlin so atleast 1.5hr of runtime.

 

[MaxxXJ]

hmm and i can still go brushless... im just wanna make my vendetta like pullin off a bandaid =) quick but painless(not breakin stuff)

 

[SeansXJ]

yeah brushless would be fun!

 

[SeansXJ]

spend a few bucks and do it right.. or just keep it simple and get a crawler also!!
